Green Tea and Arthritis - Cause Swollen Feet?

by Marie
(Florida)

I bought a bag of bulk green tea from ebay. I took about 1.4 grams a day for an arthritic knee after an old work injury.

After 4 days, my feet were swollen.

I stop the tea and swelling went away. I need the green tea but now I am scared of drinking it? What do you think?

Answer:

Marie, green tea is supposed to be good for inflammation and arthritis, but in you case, I really am not so sure. Given that it causes you to have swollen feet, I would advise that you stay from it for a while.

Anyone has any other views or experience to share?
